D36 - The first day in the first week of flower.
The girls look healthy overall, although there are a couple of minor issues. A single leaf on the first girl has some discolored spots. I used a loupe to look closer at it but couldn't see any pests, so I'm not sure what the issue might be.
On the other hand, the second girl has light-colored leaf tips on the topmost growth. It reminds me of light bleaching, but I checked with the meter, and it was only reading 400 PPFD, so I doubt that is the issue. There are a few light-colored tips on the first girl's top as well, but it is less pronounced than on the second girl.
Minor issues for sure, but I'll keep my eyes on them.
I did some additional LST to keep the girls squat and bushy, and I gave each 1.25-liters of water @ pH 6.2 with 25 ml EM-1.
D37 - I decided to remove the spotty leaf, and took a look with the microscope but couldn't really see anything.
D38 - More LST
D40 - Even more LST
D41 - Just pics today. I haven't spotted any more spotted leaves (Ha), and the light-colored tips haven't progressed. So far so good...
D42 - We're at the end of the first week of flower, and all is well.
I did minor defoliation on the lower branches, removing fan leaves that weren't getting any light, and continued with the LST to maintain a flat canopy.
I finally turned on the Blumat system since the soil had dried out enough to be in a reasonable range. I need to monitor it for the next few days, ensuring it runs correctly. The pH of the water in the reservoir is 6.7.
I also increased the amount of light the girls are getting to around 550-600 PPFD at the canopy level.
@love_2_grow, in Russian it's agro plionka. English - frost fleece. Any gardening center will have , I buy it on eBay in UK.
Honestly does magic ! You can spray as often as you want, you will never burn with water as magnifying glass or light will be too intense.
@THChili, Thank you! It's the first time I'm growing this strain, and I'm looking forward to the journey. It's been YEARS since the last time I even smoked White Widow. I'm so excited! :D
